Volunteers can either help all day or any time during the event’s hours by either painting classroom walls, school hallways or railings and curbs; cleaning various school rooms and helping landscape the front of the selected buildings. Participants must be 16 years of age or older.

Each volunteer will also receive a free Project Shine T-shirt for their efforts, and lunch and beverages will be provided.
